My Wandering Wednesday Series are dedicated to the flight of my imagination now and then, captured by my camera lens. And then, favourite songs and movies simply fill in the gaps for the right captions! Check the previous posts here.
This gorgeous Banyan tree in the quiet by lanes of Juhu made for such a majestic pose, I just had to capture it. God alone knows the stories it has witnessed and the tales it can tell. If trees could truly speak, the rustling of the leaves would not be a murmur….

Don’t you think that, contrary to popular belief, old souls like this one not only survive but thrive in a megapolis like Mumbai? I bet you, they wouldn’t even want to be anyplace else!
They totally do Rickie. Infact I think they are somewhat like having grandparents….warm, loving and non judgemental 🙂
Looking at the size of this banyan tree, it sure has seen many generations of Mumbai! Wish too.. that the trees could speak..
On a different note, I wonder if all those childhood stories that I had heard about the connection between ghosts and banyan trees were true 😀
I am sure to Kcalpesh. Love the name BTW 🙂 And ghosts and Banyan trees definitely go hand in hand….else what’s the point of all that hanging there? 😛
Loved the shot, so ethereal in look. Seems to answer why these trees are worshipped.
Completely Meenakshi. It is a gorgeous one no doubt…..and pssst pssst…..in the neighbourhood of ChiChi and Duggu, BTW 🙂
